EC 3.6.5.1 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

3.6.5.1

Accepted name

heterotrimeric G-protein GTPase

Reaction

GTP + H₂O = GDP + phosphate

Systematic name

GTP phosphohydrolase (signalling)

Comment

This group comprises GTP-hydrolysing systems, where GTP and GDP alternate in binding. This group includes stimulatory and inhibitory G-proteins such as G_s, G_i, G_o and G_olf, targetting adenylate cyclase and/or K⁺ and Ca²⁺ channels; G_q stimulating phospholipase C; transducin activating cGMP phosphodiesterase; gustducin activating cAMP phosphodiesterase. G_olf is instrumental in odour perception, transducin in vision and gustducin in taste recognition. At least 16 different α subunits (39-52 kDa), 5 β subunits (36 kDa) and 12 γ subunits (6-9 kDa) are known.

History

created 2000 as EC 3.6.1.46, transferred 2003 to EC 3.6.5.1
